The massive replace to Enshrouded hit final week and I’ve been dying to dig into the adjustments.
Welcome to Enshrouded
Sadly actual life has saved our group from with the ability to get collectively on our restarted server and I haven’t wished to race forward or end up server degree quests, which has left me in a considerably restricted area. I even rolled up an alt to attempt the magic path, simply to get a really feel for that. I needed to go rescue the alchemist then, if solely so I may make fees for my workers.
Some males simply wish to watch the world burn
However largely I’ve tried to restrain myself from going to far afield, which has had me exploring the realm round our base in additional element and digging into bits and items of the most recent replace, which has modified fairly a bit. This has truly compelled me to focus a bit on the early areas which can be straightforward to hurry previous.
Gliding in on the situation of our previous base previously run
In some ways in which has been a boon. I’ve, in actual fact, discovered issues I didn’t run throughout earlier than in my previous hurry to maneuver ahead. The clean areas of the map all the time name to me. And the replace added some extra to that.
However largely I’ve been delving into the shroud.
The shroud awaits
I’ll admit that, on our first run by way of the sport, I handled the shroud extra as a hazard to be averted than a spot to discover. Positive, it’s a must to go there for all types of issues, and shroud roots most of all, however nonetheless I didn’t wander in there any greater than I completely needed to. That timer looming over you, particularly at decrease ranges… who want that type of strain?
However lots of the Thralls of Twilight adjustments have been to nighttime time conduct and the shroud.
So I went to the settings for our server and made evening time longer than 4 minutes… although, to this point, past with the ability to discover fireflies simply, the entire evening issues hasn’t actually endeared itself to me to this point… and cranked the shroud timer modifier as much as 2x so I may spend a while exploring the shroud with out having to obsess fairly a lot about my time left.
We’re solely at flame degree 2… once more, holding off on slaying the matron till we’ve a gaggle… so the default shroud timer doesn’t encourage lingering within the mist.
And it’s misty. Earlier than the replace the shroud was typically extra like some Central Valley Tule fog, which could be fairly gentle and open at occasions, then abruptly dense and oppressive while you hit a thick patch.
Now the shroud is in additional of a pea soup of fog, dense sufficient in locations that you simply would possibly assume it was evening out, solely to emerge into noon.
Down in a darkish nook of the shroud… fairly positive it was daylight out after I took this
To compensate for that, there do appear to be much more bits of sunshine glowing down within the shroud. It’s simpler to get round down there at evening than it’s up in among the forest or open grassland areas, the place a black wolf on darkish grass in a pitch black evening is tough to combat in case your weapon doesn’t forged any gentle.
There are additionally new sources to search out. The mobs largely appear the identical… although I did run into one of many new mobs on the fringe of my exploration radius… although I didn’t get a display shot as I used to be in over my head level-wise, so opted to run away a bit. Nonetheless, there are issues to discover and check.
I’m positive this might be a experience…
I did discover a fell banshee… it seems these weren’t new mobs, simply mobs I didn’t know the title of beforehand. Amongst different issues, they’ll drop gems for the brand new weapon socket system. I ended up with a few gems of burning.
Gem of Burning
However you want a gem forge to socket them. I discovered that as effectively, although that was a little bit of journey throughout which I used to be made to remorse making the evening longer. See the bit concerning the black wolf at evening, then make it a pack.
Nonetheless, arriving on the gem forge I discovered you want archaic essence to be able to socket a gem. I had truly collected a few of that… one other new useful resource within the shroud… however had uncared for to carry any alongside. One thing for one more journey.
Extra shroud mist… this time at evening
It does seem to be we’ll be spending extra time within the shroud for this run. However to this point that adjustments make it appear extra fascinating… and the sources are going to require us to go in there.
Dawn by way of the shroud from a excessive level simply above the mist
So we will see what the shroud holds for us as we press onward.
